Details
Unconfirmed. Honda gives the CR a 13.8:1 rack versus 14.9:1. An owner of a 2008 was told the rack and torque sensor differ and that EPS and VSA part numbers also differ between the CR and the regular car; the thread reports no finished swap. Honda's 2008 release also lists steering gearbox stiffeners on the CR.
